For other dances, sessions, concerts and ceilidhs he has a Fantini SP20GB Professional. This has 96 bass buttons with 3 couplers and 4 treble reeds, custom tuned by Emelio Allodi of Allodi Accordions. The 4th (or musette) reed has been tuned in unison with the dominant clarinet reed to produce a harder, drier more metallic sound. The instrument is fitted with the Sennheiser sound system for amplification. |
